Epson Salts Instead of Baking Powder in Biscuits.

Kankakee Valley Review. John Behles was called down before the grand jury last Friday to tell what he know about the Woodmen John is one of the most popular batchelors of Kankakee township and told our reporter of an experience he had some time ago, when he attempted to make buscuits, the women folks of the household being away visiting at the time. John said he thought he knew all about the art and after mixing up the batter to his notion, left the even to do the rest, and when he thought sufficient time has been given to bake a nice light bunch, he opened the oven dopr, and to his surprise he discovered that the batter had all run together, covering the entire bottom of the pan about one-half inch thick. John then made an investigation and found that he had got bold of a can of Epsom salts instead of the baking powder can.
